Once upon a time an African king who had a close friend that he grew
with. The friend had a habit to face each situation that happened in
its life (positive or negative) saying: "That is good! Almighty Allah
knows more".
The king and his friend one day left for a hunt. The friend loaded and
prepared the weapons for the king. Apparently, the friend had made
something missed in the preparation of one of theweapons, the king
shot and it took his thumb away. When examining the situation, the
friend observed as always: "Thatis good! Almighty Allah knows more".
The king answered, "No, this is notgood", he commanded the soldiers
who arrestedhis friend and put him in the prison. After one year, the
king was hunting in a region where, cannibals appeared, and captured
the king and took him to their village. They tied hishands, and piled
up the firewood. When the cannibals came closer to the fire they
noticed that the king did not have thethumb. As they were
superstitious, they never ate who had a part of his body missing.
Thus, after setting the king free, they banished him from the village.
When the king arrived at its palace, remembered the incident about his
thumb and felt remorse for the treatment given to his friend.
Immediately, he pays a visit to the prisoner to speak with his
friend."You were right", said the king. "It was good that I lost my
thumb". Theking started to tell his friend everything that happened to
him. "I am sorry that I have ordered you to prison for such a long
period. It was a great mistake". "No", the friend said, "That was
thegood decision, because Almighty Allah knows more". "What do you
mean by that? How it canbe good decision? I ordered my best friend
toprison?" The friend answered: "Remember that Almighty Allah knows
more and if I was not in the prison certainly I would be with you in
the hunt". Then you know what would have happened with me?
"He knows what is beforethem and what is behind them and to Allah are
all affairs turned back". Noble Qur'an, Surah Al Hajj (22:76)
Do not judge the facts or events for the immediate results! Almighty
Allah, the Highest, the Omniscient and the Wise, knows more.
When we faced by circumstances that are nogood, we react quickly,"This
is not good." but, perhaps we did not know the reason behind it. It
can become a good thing also. Hence, from next time onward, when we
face any type of situation. Let us not jumpinto any conclusion, always
remember. This life is a test. The good and the bad, nothing happen
without any reason. Our mind is not prepared to understand the reason.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
